History
XMOS was founded in July 2005 by Ali Dixon, James Foster, Noel Hurley, David May, and Hitesh Mehta.[2] It received seed funding from the University of Bristol enterprise fund, and Wyvern seed fund.[3]
The name XMOS is a loose reference to Inmos. Some concepts found in XMOS technology (such as channels and threads) are part of the Transputer legacy.[4]
In the autumn of 2006, XMOS secured funding from
In July 2017, XMOS acquired SETEM,[9][10] a company that specialises in audio algorithms for source separation.[11][12]
In 2019, XMOS raised $19 million in funding from Harbert European Growth Capital and existing investors.[13]
In December 2023, XMOS signed a joint development agreement with Sonical for Headphone 3.0 technology.[14]
